"Why," you ask? Because we want profile pages to have freedom of customization, but also to have some consistency. This way, when anyone visits a deviant, they know they can always find the art in the top left, and personal info in the top right.

History/Creation: There are stories about the Kobolds that the Drow down below created centuries ago. Several magic-users had become bored one day and a bet was made regarding the ability to create a race that would serve as both target practice and a kind of pet for the little ones. Several attempts were made to do this but they had all ended up becoming a small disaster.

One magic-user over several months however managed to succeed in their attempt. They used the runts of her riding lizard's clutch of eggs and transmuted them with a few Dwarves that had been taken during a recent raid. The first few results were bloody failures, piles of flesh and bone that sizzled and popped ominously. These were thrown down a gorge while no one was looking and the experiments continued with more zeal.

In the end she did manage to create a brand new race with the last Dwarf at her disposal and the Kobolds were born. They were reptilian in appearance, the size of an adult Dwarf thanks to their mixture of blood.

The first generation acted little more than intelligent dogs, unable to speak or properly think on their own. The Drow however had become charmed with them and they were bred and trained more and more and soon in the kennels and breeding pits the Kobolds started to change...becoming more than dumb pets to be led around on leashes. They taught themselves to watch how the Drow interacted, slowly teaching themselves to form their own culture.

It was the tenth generation of Kobolds that figured out how to unlock their pens. The cages were opened when the Drow were not looking and the former pets and experiments slipped out of the city and escaped deep into the caverns, promising each other that they would never be owned by Drow again.

Offspring/Aging: Kobolds lay eggs with a clutch of usually three to five eggs each. The hatchlings grow quickly, remaining young for one year before becoming fully matured and ready to help protect the clan and care of the other young ones.

Appearance: With their origins being a mixture of Dwarf and Drow riding lizard; the Kobold resemble Dwarf-sized reptilian humanoids. Their bodies are covered in soft but strong scales and their coloring is mostly dark colors, allowing them to blend into their surroundings. A rare few are born with feathered frills on top of their heads and can open and close at will.

Language: The Kobold speak mostly in clicks and whistles, using their teeth and claws. Some have developed a language that uses the movements of their feathered frills on their heads but since Kobolds born with such are rare, it is a second language known only to the frilled kind, making them much more valued as scouts since they can signal each other without giving themselves away.

Diet: Their diet consists mostly of the different fungi and mushrooms that grow down below. Some have become fond of small insects but for the most part they stick with the easy to forage and grow mushrooms and fungi.

Interactions With Other Races: Kobolds try to stay mostly away from other races, especially the Drow that kept them as pets for so long. They are however sympathetic to Outside Races that are sometimes brought down either by becoming lost or being taken as slaves by the Drow. They are more than willing to help these kinds of people get back to the surface, although they are too afraid themselves to slip out themselves.

The key word here is "sketch/drabble", as in most likely fast (so don't expect any miracle and it will be without colour and blah blah, u know). If even I have time to do it then so do you!

1. I won't start drawing for you until you offer 10 free sketches/drabbles in your own journal. If you've done this in the recent past, just provide proof and that will do. DON'T MIND THAT RULE2. In your comment, include a link to a reference(s) of any character you want me to draw/write.3. If you request multiple characters or something complex, I reserve the right to simplify it or to only draw one character.4. I wont draw furries, hentai, porn or something like that GO ON...5.

All right, so after seeing a few people doing this kind of thing with REAL MONEY JESUS WTF I thought maybe I could earn points to add to my premium membership.

READ THE RULES BEFORE YOU GIVE ME ANY POINTS IF YOU DO NOT READ THE RULES I WILL JUST RETURN THEM AND TELL YOU TO LEARN HOW TO READ

1. DO NOT GIVE ME POINTS UNTIL AFTER YOU HAVE NOTED ME AND WE HAVE AGREED ON WHAT YOU WANT. This is to avoid people I don't like giving me points and trying to force me to write them something.

2. If you are my friend we can still do a simple art trade instead of you just giving me your points. I love art trades ^ u ^

THIS IS A FRIEND ONLY OPTION

3. Tell me what you want. Please, do not be really vague or else I'll just stare at my open office screen for days and have no idea wtf to do with myself. If you want to give me some characters and then allow me to come up with something then please be warned this may take a while, especially with topics I am unfamiliar with.

4. PAY WHATEVER YOU WANT AND/OR CAN GIVE. This is to avoid people bitching about spending points on a story in the first place. I will try my hardest with all fics; from one point to a hundred points they will all be given the same care and dedication.

5. I will only be taking three at a time to avoid being overwhelmed and forcing people to wait for an unfair amount of time for their stories. Please pay attention to see if I have an opening before noting me.

6. If you want me to write something based on your original characters and/or setting, please give me as much detail as possible so I don't mess it up.

7. If you want a fanfic, please try to ask for something I am familiar with or give me a good resource to look things up if you do not.

8. I am allowed to deny any commission for any reason and will return points if needed.

9. Please be warned that I will try to write stories longer than 375 but you're not getting a whole novel either. If you want a dribble drabble that is fine too...although I'm not sure if anyone would pay for that anyway lol.
